The Lunar Orbit is back just in time for July 4th, and for America’s 250th anniversary I thought it would be a fun idea to walk people through a little tour of post-rock in the US. Starting with Slint and Rodan back in the 90s through to Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You and ending up with bands like Grails and Russian Circles. It’s been American bands pushing and evolving the genre for decade after decade. Come hope on the shuttle and enjoy the tour!
